That would be my concern as well. Even with light stuff the weight of the drawers might cause the shelves to collapse the shelf they are mounted to, especially with road bumps and vibration. The goos news all you have to do is add another layer of plywood and make sure you fasten it to the strong part of the cabinet.

Nicely done. 

The only minor worry I have is that the shelves in that cabinet are pretty thin, so they can be easily overloaded.  I plan to have lightweight stuff in there, so I shouldn't have a problem.

When you're buying the slideouts, get the kind with the slides completely under the drawers, so the drawers bolt to the top of the slide.  If you get the kind where the slides bolt to the side of the drawer, you'll lose width onthe drawers.

Here's the two I bought:

I must be nicer to my three-way fridge.

With my dilapidated batteries and 80W panel, propane is our workhorse.

I just bought it, but have not installed it yet. As it is wireless you can also easily remove it and use it in different cars or trailers:

I am now on my 2nd Dometic RM 8501 fridge which was purchased at the end of 2020 after my first one got an ammonia leak after 10 years of service.  Question is what options are available in the event this one pukes down the road and I need to replace with another propane fridge?  We normally boondock or at least camp where there is no electricity.  Thanks

Not many options and there seem fewer and fewer every year. This is a common complaint on the Escape forum. All new campers from Escape are coming with compressor fridges, but then Escape tends to put a bigger fridge in their campers. Hoping we can get ours repaired should it ever go south on us.

Sounds like a wonderful rig. Modern compressor fridges are way more efficient on 12V and 110v than absorption fridges. We still like having the propane option though. 

Safe travels.

LOL. That makes a tad bit of a difference! . How much solar you running up top? LiFePO4 batteries? We have about 400w of solar on our rig with 400ah of LiFePO4 batteries and 1500W inverter that will power everything but the AC. We still run our 3way Dometic fridge on propane since it is the most efficient way to run an absorption fridge plus we have twin propane tanks. We just follow the necessary precautions when filling up at gas stations and other situations.

~800K? You may just hold the record for mileage on an Rpod. Good on you!

Unless you have an inverter that is turned on, you are most likely running your fridge on 12v, not 110v. Also, assuming you have a 3-way (110v, 12v, gas) fridge, running on 12v or 110v is hugely inefficient. Unless there have been some serious modifications made to the tow vehicle charging system including running a thicker gauge wire from the alternator to the camper, there is no way the TV can meet the charging demand caused by running a 3-way fridge on 12v mainly because the light gauge wire used in the stock vehicle wiring harness and the distance from the alternator to the rear of the vehicle is too great to be effective. If running the fridge on 12v gives your peace of mind, then by all means do so but you do run the risk of arriving at your campsite with a depleted battery which would not be good especially if you are boondocking.

We have towed near 100 thousand miles with our 3-way fridge running on propane while traveling. I believe it to be perfectly safe as long as certain precautions are followed:

We put our spare under with a hide-a-spare. It was a tight fit, but it has the added benefit of supporting the floor in the wide spot under the kitchen. It does not hang down any lower than anything else.

Thanks,

Very similar to the Yakry model I got from Amazon. Worked great but could have stood to have a wider angle lens than it did. Also the windshield mount was useless. I made a metal plate to fit inside a tray on the dash and mounted magnets to the bracket. Worked awesome
